MMIJ Annual Meeting

The "circular economy" has become a trend of international development, and the Taiwanese Government has repeatedly demonstrated to promote it. The construction industry shoulders the responsibility for various infrastructures like transportation, construction, electricity, manufacturing, etc. However, it has caused a lot of cement, sand, steel, wood and other raw materials use and impact on the environment. In view of this, in order to enhance circular economy implementation in the construction industry, under my preparatory call as the president of the Taiwan Construction Research Institute president, the Taiwan Society for Circular Economy (TWSCE) was established on June 19, 2019.
As a research pioneer and non-profit organization promoting the circular economy application in the construction industry, our mission is to connect construction engineering, resource recycling, and industrial economy to reduce the consumption of natural resources and waste output and jointly promote the technological and industrial upgrading of circular economy to achieve the goal of sustainable development of resources by the government and enterprises.
